Speaker 1: There is one week left until the American people make
Speaker 1: a monumental decision. It is the twenty ninth of October.
Speaker 1: Seven days to go until scores of tens of millions
Speaker 1: of us, from coast to coast, from sea to shining sea,
Speaker 1: walk into voting boots and cast our most precious gift,
Speaker 1: a vote, a choice that we get to make about
Speaker 1: the future of the country.
Speaker 2: This is the warning.
Speaker 1: Every vote is equal. Billionaires don't get to vote ten times.
Speaker 1: Every American citizen is a shareholder, a stakeholder. We together
Speaker 1: will decide the future of our country.
Speaker 2: We have one.
Speaker 1: Week left to sort it all out, to evaluate who
Speaker 1: the two people are that are running for president, Who
Speaker 1: are the people around them, What do they believe, what
Speaker 1: do they stand for? Are they parting a path that
Speaker 1: we have long been on? Are they trying to reorder
Speaker 1: our society, to remake the United States? All fair questions,
Speaker 1: and the answer in the case of Donald Trump is yes.
Speaker 1: He spent time yesterday with one of America's greatest religious
Speaker 1: hucksters and fraudsters. He let her and her extremist friends
Speaker 1: touch him, lay hands on him, to speak in fork tongues,
Speaker 1: and pray over the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.
Speaker 3: And I asked for divine visitations that you would continue
Speaker 3: to give them your wisdom. According to James one to five,
Speaker 3: that you had give him the mind of Christ. According
Speaker 3: to Philippians two five, that you said in Psalm thirty
Speaker 3: three that blessed is the nation whose Lord is God.
Speaker 3: And we just thank you for our fighter of faith,
Speaker 3: and for freedom and for religion God, and most of
Speaker 3: all for our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: Now let me offer another piece of advice. If it
Speaker 1: walks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck,
Speaker 1: it's probably a duck. Similarly, if a goose steps like
Speaker 1: a Nazi, it salutes like a Nazi, it talks like
Speaker 1: a Nazi, it's probably a Nazi. Now, Donald Trump may
Speaker 1: experiencing what psychologists call a consciousness of guilt after his
Speaker 1: fascist rally in Madison Square Garden, where he did his
Speaker 1: very best to equal it raised the stakes on the
Speaker 1: boond rally of February twentieth, nineteen thirty nine, where giant
Speaker 1: banners of George Washington were hung on the stage, the
Speaker 1: stage that Trump spoke from, flanked by Spostikus here's what
Speaker 1: happened at Donald Trump's fascist rally. We heard replacement theory.
Speaker 4: And people know, in a country that has been taken
Speaker 4: over by a leadership class that actually despises them and
Speaker 4: their values and their history and their culture and their
Speaker 4: custom really hates them to the point that it's trying
Speaker 4: to replace them.
Speaker 1: We heard all of the orthodoxies of Hitlerism and fascism americanized.
Speaker 4: The cartels are gone, the criminal migrants are gone, the
Speaker 4: gangs are gone. America is for Americans and Americans only.
Speaker 1: But let me be clear, and I'm saying this because
Speaker 1: I know what I'm talking about. Donald Trump is a fascist.
Speaker 1: His movement, MAGA, is a fascist movement. The plan to
Speaker 1: deport tens of millions of people and to build the
Speaker 1: police state to do it is also a fascist idea.
Speaker 2: That's the thing about America. It's a country, the.
Speaker 1: Only one in the world, built not on blood and soil,
Speaker 1: not on generational tribal inheritances, but on an idea, perhaps
Speaker 1: the most important in world history, that all men and
Speaker 1: now women and people of color are created equally, creator
Speaker 1: with inalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 1: That is what is online in this selection. Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, has told us exactly
Speaker 1: who he is.
Speaker 5: Kamala has imported criminal migrants from prisons and jails, from
Speaker 5: insane asylums and mental institutions from all around the world,
Speaker 5: from Venezuela to the Congo, oh Congo. They're sending a
Speaker 5: lot of that people because you know what, they don't
Speaker 5: want to take care of them, They're going to send them.
Speaker 5: They're sending them here. We have a lot they come
Speaker 5: out of Congo prisons, but they come from Africa, they
Speaker 5: come from the Middle East, they come from a lot
Speaker 5: of places, and of course they come from South America.
Speaker 5: The jails all over the world are being emptied into
Speaker 5: our country, and only bed can come out.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The second richest person in the world who insisted that
Speaker 1: the newspaper he bought as a hobby horse put onto
Speaker 1: its masthead, democracy dies in darkness. It may be the
Speaker 1: dumbest and most cynical thing that has ever been placed
Speaker 1: on the front page of an American newspaper. Truly, it
Speaker 1: used to be just dumb and vapid, but now it's
Speaker 1: become sinister and cancerous. Jeff Bezos wrote an op ed today,
Speaker 1: and in the op ed, the owner of the Washington
Speaker 1: Post declared print media in America can't be trusted, is
Speaker 1: not trusted, and therefore it can't take a stand editorially
Speaker 1: on the most profound question the United States is facing
Speaker 1: since the eve of the Civil War and the eve
Speaker 1: of the Second World War.
Speaker 2: And Jeff Bezos, a.
Speaker 1: Man so rich that he can build his own rockets
Speaker 1: to blast himself off into outer space, is a fraid
Speaker 1: aid to take a stand cowardice is a terrible, terrible.
Speaker 2: Disposition for a newspaper owner.
Speaker 1: This is a moment that requires fortitude, toughness, grit, and conviction,
Speaker 1: and obviously Jeff Bezos, who spent the summer cruising the
Speaker 1: Mediterranean on a five hundred million dollar.
Speaker 2: Boat, has none of the above.
Speaker 1: He isn't a national malignancy like Elon Musk, but he's
Speaker 1: just a soulless just as empty, and he should sell
Speaker 1: the Washington Post or put it into some type of
Speaker 1: trust before he loses every ounce of affection the American
Speaker 1: people have for him as he exposes himself as one
Speaker 1: more greedy billionaire who doesn't care about anything that's outside
Speaker 1: the view of his yacht. Now over at CNN another
Speaker 1: moment of disgrace.
Speaker 3: If you don't want to be called Nazis, stop.
Speaker 2: Table people by me.
Speaker 1: I never called you. I mean I'm not saying her saying.
Speaker 2: I'm a set of the Pubestinians. I'm used to it.
Speaker 1: Well, I hope your beaper doesn't go off.
Speaker 3: The thing is is that.
Speaker 4: You should know because you just said I should.
Speaker 6: Be kill No, I did not say, let me look
Speaker 6: about let me let me just.
Speaker 3: Guys, are you.
Speaker 5: Ryan?
Speaker 2: Let's put up Abby phillips.
Speaker 6: Apology before we get started. I want to just address
Speaker 6: what happened in the last segment. First, I want to
Speaker 6: apologize to Medi Hassan for what was said at this table.
Speaker 6: It was completely unacceptable. When we get this discussion started,
Speaker 6: you'll see that Ryan is not at the table. There
Speaker 6: is a line that was crossed there and it's not
Speaker 6: acceptable to me. It's not acceptable to us at this network.
Speaker 6: We want discussion, We want people who disagree with each
Speaker 6: other to talk to each other. But when you cross
Speaker 6: the line of a complete lack of civility, that is
Speaker 6: not going to happen here on this show.
Speaker 1: Every night, Abby Phillips in all of the CNN hosts
Speaker 1: with very very few exceptions, like Aaron Burnett, whom you
Speaker 1: would never see a freak show like Ryan Gooderski on
Speaker 1: her show, but you'll see it on Abby Phillips because
Speaker 1: every night the producers curate a combustible freak show. There's
Speaker 1: always a Ryan Gooderski on the Abby Phillips set. It's
Speaker 1: not a show for serious conversation. Scott Jennings appears on
Speaker 1: it constantly. Last night, a man who was once accused
Speaker 1: of rape, Ryan Gooderski, a man who had no.
Speaker 2: Business being on CNN.
Speaker 1: A liar, a propagandist, a political extremist. Yesterday, Ryan Goodersky
Speaker 1: looked at my friend Metti and accused him of being
Speaker 1: a member of Hamas and suggested that he might have
Speaker 1: a pager on him that would soon blow up, potentially
Speaker 1: injuring Ryan.
Speaker 2: Nobody should be.
Speaker 1: Surprised that Ryan Godursky would say something like that, and
Speaker 1: no one should be surprised that he would say it
Speaker 1: on CNN. Cynicism is how Ryan Goderski wound up on television.
Speaker 1: Cynicism is the reason the Washington Post won't make an endorsement.
Speaker 1: Transactional cynicism is how the American media has failed the
Speaker 1: country during these last nine years. Price is the fascist
Speaker 1: movement that stands on the edge of taking power and
Speaker 1: authoring a catastrophe. The Washington Post will not save us.
Speaker 1: CNN will not save us. The New York Times will
Speaker 1: not save us. The only people who will save America
Speaker 1: now are the American people. And we have to save
Speaker 1: it from an awful corruption that we have let swirrel
Speaker 1: in our politics, in our media, in our corporations, in
Speaker 1: our culture, everywhere around us. Donald Trump is an evil man,
Speaker 1: and I don't use that word lightly, but there are
Speaker 1: no adjudicated rapists who are an evil man.
Speaker 2: He's a felon, He's a liar.
Speaker 1: He incited an insurrection against the American constitution, he betrayed
Speaker 1: his oath.
Speaker 2: He's a fascist.
Speaker 1: What Trump is is perfectly clear. What remains murky is
Speaker 1: what type of country we are, or we the type
Speaker 1: of people? And are we the type of Americans who
Speaker 1: are so weak, so pitiful that we are the ones
Speaker 1: finally that open the gates and allow a fascist to
Speaker 1: take power. Wrapped in the flag and carrying across Let
Speaker 1: us pray that that is not the case, and we
Speaker 1: measure up in the same way that our grandparents and
Speaker 1: their parents and our parents did and we make the
Speaker 1: right choice for our kids, for our flag, for the
Speaker 1: United States of America. This is the warning. I'm Steve Schmidt.
